Something had bitten my arm and it won't stop itching! Arrrgghhh!! It's driving me mad!

[Tortoise]

Something has bitten my arm in 3 places. One of them i have scratched too much and taken the top off! This is the one which is itching almost constantly! I can't stand it any more!

Have tried Savlon, Eurex and putting a plaster on it. It just won't stop!
Is there anything else i can do/try?

DD1 also has 4 large bites on her back but the Eurex has stopped them itching.

Oh, and the other 2 do itch just not as often as the one i scratched!

take piriton or similar

Oh thanks, didn't think of that. Only have Boots own Hayfever tablets but just looked on the box and it says itching so have taken 1. Fingers crossed it helps!

wee on it.

Ewww

Citronella (essential oil) mixed with a drop of olive is brill for itching insect bites and also stops the blighters stinging!! Lemon juice is good too.

You can get these clicker things in Boots which are really good for taking the itch oput of bites.

Have just discovered that Bonjela cool works really, really well. It should be rebranded!

Brigit..I find that those 'clicker things' don't work and they hurt .
